thinking, that's all

well, i'm back home. i think my being awake right now is a combination of jet lag, which seems to have silently snuck up on me, and my ever restless mind. i'd say they both make sense given the circumstance.

the trip was sorely needed. it was a great combination of time spent with family, friends and alone and the setting was absolutely ideal.

i wrote a couple weeks ago about things coming back around and it's funny because that happened while i was in california. again, the instances were small and anecdotal but interesting and meaningful nonetheless. the kind of things that reinforce to me how sudden and alive with possibility life is.

i've also been reminded of how quickly things can change. i had a very unfocused, unclear vision of where i'd be and exactly what i'd be doing in the foreseeable future. it appears as though this has changed dramatically and now i have a path looking forward. this came about through absolutely no doing of mine. it fell into my lap without any effort whatsoever. i'm excited. i'm ready.

there are still challenges for me to overcome. most of them from within. i'll get there though, no doubt of that. here's hoping it's sooner rather than later.
